The video that we all were waiting for after the launch of the iPhone...

Tagging in the real, meatspace world is an urban, semi-artistic endeavor which entails scrawling your handle all over public surfaces. Tagging in the wired universe is, of course, a folksonomy, a means of categorizing and organizing ideas, terms, things and themes. Semapedia brings the two together again, so to speak. Here’s how it works: you choose a wiki article with a real world connection. Copy the article’s URL and paste it into the Semapedia form (on the site’s homepage). Semapedia will churn out custom made tags available as a printable PDF. Print out the tags and attach them according to the content they link to (in some cases, it’d be wise to ask for permission, or simply do your deed at under the cover of nightfall). Cell phone users will be able access the wiki info by simply pointing their screens at the tag (provided they first download a 2D Barcode Reader for their phone). It’s tagging 2.0 style.
In their own words;
“Our goal is to connect the virtual and physical world by bringing the
right information from the internet to the relevant place in physical
space. To accomplish this, we invite you to create Semapedia-Tags which
are in fact cellphone-readable physical hyperlinks.”
I was watching the Dutch news this morning and there was an announcement/news item about the newest helping han of the fire department in London. A little helicopter. Now that is not really new. What really catched my eye were the goggles that the operator of the little helicopter was wearing. I could read iCuiti on it. I started to google on this and found a really cool video about these goggles. You can see it here and here is their page on MySpace.
It’s very high on the wishlist ;-)
What's the best text message you've ever gotten?
I love you, honey!

A rushing day yesterday. Waking up 5 o’clock to get to the airport and catch the 7:00 plane to Stockholm. Almost missed it. 9:40 arrived in Stockholm and found out that I forgot my camera and my mobile phone. No worries as Rebtel takes good care for it’s digital guerilla’s. There was a Swedish style Limo waiting for me at the airport. Not the yellow one as seen on the picture, but a black one ;-) The photographs you see here are taken with the built in camera in my Macbook. After some very good meetings with the people from Rebtel I’ve had to rush back to the airport to catch the plane back to Amsterdam. I missed the barbeque ;-( .Better next time ;-) To see and meet the complete team of bloggers from Rebtel you go to technorti dot com and search for Rebtel. Or... google them...
Rebtel me please from wherever you are on this planet... I am so bored...
All my friends from the King Shiloh Sound System surprised everyone with a fantastic party at their home base in Amsterdam. King Shiloh Amsterdam 29 april 2007. Mainly King Shiloh and a mix of other artists on a special event organized by the king shiloh sound system on their own soil. The song you hear is named "Can't Conquer it" and you can find it on their MySpace. (
